Fate of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis I N Mouse

چکیده
An essential element in the pathogenicity of a microorganism is its ability to multiply within the animal host. The degree to which any microbial species can multiply, and the correlation of that multiplication with the production of progressive disease might be expected to depend on a number of factors such as toxin production, effectiveness of host defenses, and similar host-parasite interactions. Nevertheless, it is reasonable to assume that in any particular species, within certain limits, the number of microorganisms within a given tissue would provide an index of the degree of involvement of that tissue.

Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis CTL Epitopes Restricted by HLA-A*0201 in HHD Mice
CD8+ T cells are thought to play an important role in protective immunity to tuberculosis. The major histocompatibility complex class I subtype HLA-A*0201 is one of the most prevalent class I alleles, with a frequency of over 30% in most populations. HLA-A*0201 transgenic, H-2Db/mouse beta2-microglobulin double-knockout mice (HHD) which express human HLA-A*0201 but no mouse class I, was shown t...
متن کاملA Novel QSAR Model for the Evaluation and Prediction of (E)-N’-Benzylideneisonicotinohydrazide Derivatives as the Potent Anti-mycobacterium Tuberculosis Antibodies Using Genetic Function Approach
Abstract A dataset of (E)-N’-benzylideneisonicotinohydrazide derivatives as a potent anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis has been investigated utilizing Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) techniques. Genetic Function Algorithm (GFA) and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) were used to select the descriptors and to generate the correlation QSAR models that relate the Mi...

Background & Aim: Molecular epidemiology is the using of molecular techniques (e.g. Spoligotyping, RFLP VNTR) in order to study bacterial distribution in human populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of all genotypes in M. tuberculosis strains typed by spoligotyping and to determine the associated risk factors in patients with different nationalities residing in...
متن کاملAssociation between HLA-Class I and HLA-Class II Alleles and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection in Iraqi Patients from Baghdad City
Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) is one of the endemic diseases in Iraq, and among the suggested predisposing factors are alleles of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. We sought to investigate the association between HLA-class I (A and B) and -class II (DR and DQ) alleles in a sample of PT Iraqi patients.Methods: lymphocytes of 105 PT patients and 40 controls were phenotyped for H...

Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the problematic infectious diseases in developing countries, especially in Iran. In the present study, we applied ribosome display technique to select single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for the 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a mouse scFv library. Materials and Methods: The g...
